KDE Frameworks are 60 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide

Compiling from sources

Building from source is possible using the basic cmake .; make; make install commands. For a single Tier 1 framework, this is often the easiest solution. People interested in contributing to frameworks or tracking progress in development of the entire set are encouraged to use kdesrc-build.
Frameworks 5.17.0 requires Qt 5.3.

A detailed listing of all Frameworks and other third party Qt libraries is at inqlude.org, the curated archive of Qt libraries. A complete list with API documentation is on api.kde.org.

You can discuss and share ideas on this release in the comments section of the dot article.
